You threw some different wheel and tire sizes out there. The tire answer will depend on wheel size and offset. The 235 width in any tire is going to be a tight fit on an HHR with a drop. Proper offset will be critical. If you are serious about wanting a wide tire AND the drop you will most likely need to roll the lip in the back.
Most 235/45/17 tires look better on an 8-inch wide wheel. That size can look funny on a 7, of course this depends on the actual tire and sidewall construction, but in general you would use that size on a wider wheel.

I'm trying to figure out how you fit a tire meant for 18" rims on the factory 17" rims. 
Tire size- rims
